a day of thanks

i am grateful...

for a wonderful family (immediate and in-laws)

a fabulous set of relatives

friends that are there for me no matter what

the gospel that guides us

a prophet that leads through modern revelation

a modest home and a warm bed

a little pup that is always happy 

friends who share their children with me

my education

a few stable jobs despite the poor economic times

my professors and mentors for their instruction and inspiration

and my husband, for being so hard working and supportive

and another year of health and happiness

i am truly blessed

happy thanksgiving!

fruit ninja

josh and i have officially become a boring, old, married couple

tonight to liven things up, josh said we'd have a competition

a fruit ninja competition

and if you know us at all, you know we would rather slit our own throats than lose at anything

side note:  fruit ninja is a terribly addictive game on the iphone where you race the clock to slice as much fruit as you can.  if you're good, you get all sorts of combos and bonuses and such.

well, the person who got the most points by midnight got a pair of shoes

any shoes they wanted

my shoe choice are these or these... i have been coveting them ever since i first saw them 

josh's choice are something like these....

well, let's just say as of 12:02, i am a very bitter young lady

grr... i swear he cheated

it was time

for a little blog makeover
